Dofetilide (Tikosyn): adjusting dosage

I have been on Dofetilide for 11 months. It worked for about 10 months. For the past month I have been having a lot of pounding quivering heart issues. Has anyone else had this happen?

@elizabeth1941 My take is only anecdotal, but some folks that have been on Tikosyn, told me that it did not prevent the atrial fib after being on it for a while. I started with 125mg twice a day, and now take 250 mg twice a day with episodes on and off during the month. Fortunately I seem to spontaneously cardiovert after being in AF for a few days. My concern is that Tikosyn may completely quit working for my AF. So far, I'm sticking with it.

That happens. You need to consult your elctrophysiologist cardiologist
to determine next steps either a different drug or an ablation.
